Manipulator and method for controlling thereof

Abstract

A manipulator and a method for controlling the manipulator are disclosed. The manipulator includes: a plurality of links respectively corresponding to a user's upper arm, fore arm, and hand, a plurality of motors rotating the plurality of links, a communication interface comprising communication circuitry, a memory storing at least one instruction, and a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction, wherein the processor is configured to: based on first rotation angle information for motors corresponding to the upper arm and the fore arm among the plurality of motors, obtain information for a body frame of a link corresponding to the fore arm, obtain equilibrium angle information that positions the body frame in equilibrium with a specified reference frame, based on receiving a sensing value indicating the posture of the hand from an external sensor through the communication interface, obtain second rotation angle information for motors corresponding to the hand among the plurality of motors based on the sensing value and the equilibrium angle information, and control the motors corresponding to the hand based on the second rotation angle information.
